After the primary exploration of the preparation procedure of phenolic foam, we studied the modification of phenolic foam by graphene oxide. According to our researches we found that the influence of modifier to the percentage of close area was very little, but it can greatly decrease the thermal conductivity of phenolic foam. In this way, phenolic foam thermal conductivity can be reduced to 0.025 W/m.K.
We used surface treatment technology to handle wasted polyurethane foam in this paper. And made out a series of new oil absorbed foams to realize the waste reused. We used the following two technical schemes to improve oil absorption of the polyurethane foam: 1 Dealing polyurethane foam with tung oil;2 Dealing polyurethane foam with tung oil and organic silicon compoundly. Study shows the oil absorbency is up to 22.4 times when using tung oil, at the same time when the concentration of organic silicon is 1:5 , the oil absorbency is 16 times. The oil absorption effect of polyurethane soft foam which experiences the twenty-minute tung oil processing is the best.
Microcrystalline diamond (MCD), nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) and microcrystalline and nanocrystalline composite diamond (MNCD) films are all deposited on flat square shaped WC-6%Co substrates by using bias-enhanced hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) apparatus. The diamond films are characterized with scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Raman spectrum. Typical diamond film features are exhibited in the observation of SEM and the analysis results of Raman spectrum. The tribological properties of diamond films against zirconia ceramic are conducted on a ball-on-plate type rotating reciprocating tribometer in ambient air. The average friction coefficients of MCD, NCD and MNCD film in stable period are 0.205, 0.181 and 0.138 respectively. The images of surface topography based on white-light interferometer suggest a very low wear rate of CVD diamond film.
Phenolic foam offer a multitude of advantage for energy saving and fire, however, they are brittleness and need to be improved. Nanostructured inorganic particles are good modifiers to enhance the toughness, but the problem is that inorganic particles have poor compatibility with polymer materials. To solve this problem, here SiO2and Poly acrylic acid (PAA) hybrid nanoparticles were used as a reinforcing agent, which were prepared by silica sol and polyacrylic acid. The analysis shows that the hybrid nanoparticles effectively improve the compressive strength, the compressive strength and cell structures.
Nanometer materials are widely used in the modification of polymer materials such as polypropylene because of its unique performance. nanocomposite material,which expended the application field of polymer ,is a kind of new composite materials with high performance ratio and widely application prospect .This paper adopted the surface-initiated technology to coat and modify the surface of nanosilica,which solved the problem of the agglomeration and interface compatibility of the nanometer particles and improved its dispersion in the acrylic acid,then prepared SiO2/PAA nanocomposite .The composite was characterized by infrared spectrum and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) ,etc.The research results showed that the nanocomposite prepared by in-situ polymerization technology had higher toughness ,strength and more excellent comprehensive performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
